Bitkom supports the creation of the EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC). Especially, we welcome the establishment of the Export Controls Working Group (ECWG) to pursue transatlantic alignment and coordinated approaches to export controls. In response to the consultation by the Directorate General for Trade of the European Commission (DG TRADE) Bitkom is looking to inform the work of the ECWG by means of the attached position paper and draw the attention to the outlined areas and priorities for EU-US export control cooperation.
